Capture of Ju88 on Cyprus

At 19:00 hrs on the 22 July 1943 four Hurricanes from the 127 Squadron detachment at Nicosia, Cyprus were scrambled and intercepted a Ju88 above Limassol. The aircraft made a landing at Limassol and was captured intact. Eyewitness acounts claim the pilot was very young.
Does anyone have any more information on this incident?
